I did this for awhile several months ago, I'm doing it again. For the most part I'm trying to only mention bands in RockBand though there will be exceptions to that.
1953 - Hank Williams died of heart failure on the way to a gig. He was 29.
1960 - Johnny Cash played the first of many free concerts behind bars when he entertained the inmates of San Quentin Prison.
1962 - Decca Records turned down The Beatles for a record contract preferring instead to sign Brian Poole and the Tremoloes.
1970 - Jimi Hendix' Band of Gypsy's end the show suddenly in front of 19,000 fans at a peace rally when Hendrix says, "I'm sorry we just can't get it together." It was the bands second perfromance.
